Premium Vietnamese Coconut BBQ Charcoal: Export Grade & Smokeless

Restaurant-Grade Fuel for Global Importers

In the global BBQ and restaurant industry, fuel consistency directly impacts cooking performance, customer satisfaction, and operational costs.

Many importers face recurring challenges:

• • Inconsistent heat: Unpredictable temperatures that ruin cooking precision.

  • Heavy smoke: Creating an unpleasant atmosphere and clogging ventilation systems.

  • High ash content: Compromising food hygiene and increasing cleanup costs.

  • High breakage: Brittle charcoal leads to excessive dust and waste during shipping.

  • Unstable supply: Inconsistent capacity that disrupts long-term restaurant contracts.

Leveraging Vietnam’s abundant coconut resources and controlled production systems, CTC Internimex supplies export-grade Coconut Shell BBQ Charcoal engineered specifically for professional restaurant chains and international distributors.

Coconut Shell BBQ Charcoal Production Process

Step 1: Raw Material Collection & Cleaning

• 100% mature, naturally dried coconut shells are selected (moisture <15%).
• All fibers, sand, and impurities are removed.
• Mature shells provide higher carbon content, resulting in stronger and more durable charcoal.

Step 2: Carbonization (Raw Charcoal Processing)

• Coconut shells are carbonized in closed kilns (steel or brick kilns) at 400–600°C under low-oxygen conditions.
• This process produces raw charcoal in natural broken pieces, not yet uniform in size.

Step 3: Grinding

• After complete cooling, raw charcoal is ground into fine, uniform powder.
• This ensures dense briquettes, longer burning time, and reduces sparking or cracking during use.

Step 4: Mixing with Natural Binder

• Charcoal powder is mixed with 3–5% natural starch (cassava or corn starch).
• No chemical additives are used.
• Industrial mixers ensure even distribution for consistent binding strength.

Step 5: Briquette Forming

• The mixture is compressed under high pressure into hexagonal, cylindrical, or pillow-shaped briquettes.
• A central airflow hole improves ignition and ensures even burning from the inside out.

Step 6: Drying

• Briquettes are dried at 80–100°C for 24–48 hours.
• Target moisture level: below 8–10% to reduce smoke and stabilize burning performance.
